Querying Device Shadow Information

Typical Scenario

When a device is in the offline or abnormal state, an NA cannot deliver configuration information to the device by sending a command. In this case, the NA can deliver the configuration information to the device shadow. When the device goes online, the device shadow will deliver the configuration information to the device. The NA can call this API to check the device configuration information and the latest data reported by the device on the device shadow.

API Function

This API is used by an NA to query the device shadow information of a device, including the device configuration information (in the desired section) and the latest data reported by the device (in the reported section).

API Description

1
public function queryDeviceShadow($deviceId, $appId, $accessToken)

Class

DeviceManagement

Parameter Description

Parameter

Mandatory or Optional

Location

Description

$deviceId

Mandatory

path

Identifies a device. The device ID is allocated by the IoT platform during device registration.

$appId

Mandatory

query

If the device belongs to the current application, set this parameter to null. Otherwise, set this parameter to the ID of the authorized application.

$accessToken

Mandatory

header

This parameter is set to the value of the access token obtained by calling the Authentication API.

Return Value

Status Code: 200 OK

Parameter

Description

$nodeId

Identifies a device.

$name

Indicates the device name.

$description

Indicates the device description.

$manufacturerId

Uniquely identifies a manufacturer. Set this parameter to the value defined in the profile file of the device.

$manufacturerName

Indicates the manufacturer name. Set this parameter to the value defined in the profile file of the device.

$mac

Indicates the MAC address of the device.

$model

Indicates the device model. Set this parameter to the value defined in the profile file of the device.

In Z-Wave, the format is productType + productId. The value is a hexadecimal value in the format of XXXX-XXXX. Zeros are added if required, for example, 001A-0A12. The format in other protocols is still to be determined.

$swVersion

Indicates the software version of the device.

In Z-Wave, the format is major version.minor version, for example, 1.1.

$status

Indicates whether the device is online. The value options are ONLINE, OFFLINE, INBOX, and ABNORMAL.

$statusDetail

Indicates the device status. The specific value is determined by the value of status. For details, see status and statusDetail.

$mute

Indicates whether the device is in the frozen state. Based on the value of this parameter, the IoT platform determines whether to manage and store data reported by the device.

  • TRUE: The device is in the frozen state.
  • FALSE: The device is not in the frozen state.

$supportedSecurity
